What is our 80’s heroes doing now?

I was curious how some of my favourite bands of the 80’s were doing these days and did some searching. I was surprised to see how many of them that are still active.

Some have faded away and some have changed names but many of them are still producing music and tours. I have a feeling that I’ve forgotten some of them, so if you remember some that I haven’t searched for please let me know.

It was fun to see how different their websites are, some have genious design while others have more design than usability. Many of the ones who have useless sites have a text like ‘Site design is being updated”, but I think that was there for a few years.

Heres what I found :

Hey there! Cool blog post – very informative! Adam Ant himself might not be up to much at the moment but his fans definitely are! We have a tribute night up in Doncaster, UK this Saturday and of course there’s the annual London convention, this year on 7 November. Oh and there’s a book on the way too! Drop us a line for details!

Gosh! I didn’t realize how many of these bands/artists I would recognize being the old fogie that I am, but there are a bunch! Wasn’t the ’80’s when Wings was most active?? I can’t remember. I need to take my ginkgo biloba.
